Got it today. REALLY small. Soldered pin headers and tried to connect it. I could not, cause I did not have coupling capacitors as recommend in the Wtv020sd16p datasheet. Unfortunately, tomorrow I am flying to Orlando, so won't be able to test it until September. Keep you posted guys.

Back to work. Will be testing this amp tonight. Keep you posted guys./ Good to be back BTW/

Pretty decent. Played a few tracks from a PSB album I had converted and they were very cool and loud. I also bought an amp:

Still waiting to receive it. Keep you posted.

PS: Volume can be modified by software in this board.

Well, last night tried but could not get it to work. Bought the coupling capacitor, a better power source and nothing. Connected the #4 from the wtv audio module using a .47uf. No sound from the amp. Any ideas in how to test it?

PS: I just noticed that the board already have capacitors soldered. So, I do believe the board is defective.

Well, only same cause they are using PAM8803, but two boards are quite different. It is huge compared with the one I bought. If you connect volume up to active low, from the very beginning, the amp starts at its higher level.

Hey guys, anyone using it at 5V? Cause I moved the soldered pin from 3.3 to 5 and could not get it to work. Quite erratically. I did not use any diode cause I believe they are soldered in the pcb board. Any idea?

Thanks for taking care of this for me. About delay(30*35), It is cause of the time needed for the pam8803 to process a level up or down active low state. 3.5 clock cycles. Each clock cycle is about 30ms. You can read about it here:

There is a way to speed up the volume up/down process. 9.5 times + 2 ms for each level. I am planning to go that way to. But for small increments, 105ms don't sound that bad.

I also would love to continue talking about this here:http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,133013.0.html

I am feeding audio from a Sound module wtv020sd-mini which is PWM , to the mic Pins of My GSM Module Sim900, when I hear this sound on a a speaker although its not a high quality still its fair enough, but when I play the same voice and feed it to Sim900 mic and listen to it over a call its quality is very poor, there are alot of humming sounds and voice quality itself is also low.

I wanna use the module for voice response to callers , Is it all because of PWM output ? I used another module from ISD17150 and its voice quality is very nice even on the call.
